52 i I Lessee? a I line, with the set 3 end then ermit leaves to escape alternately from the thumb and %he notches 5 and 6 at the bottom of the 5 book are particularly useful in small books where the little finger or thumb can be used to prevent the leaves from turning and then, when it is desired to have a leaf turn, move I the finger or thumb to the next notch where- 10 by one leaf is permitted to turn;

This device is particularly useful for Bibles, especiall those made of thin indie paper, and for a reference books which are much used,- and likewise, for card files. It

is es ecially valuable as an aid to elderly peop e whose hands are a bit unsteady, in

turning the leaves of books with the least effortand innoyence. Y

In this ecification and the appended claims the term1eef is intended to cover not only e leaf of a book but also 02111118,}, x sfiligats of paper and other-materials, and the.

2. In a sheet turning guide, a group of sheets each having a notch in an edge thereof, said notches all being in alignment trans.- versely of the sheets, another group of sheets, adjacent the first mentioned group, each having in an edge thereof aligned notches, the groups of aligned notches being out of alignment with each other, whereby the sheets may be separated into general groups, the sheets having other notches in offset relation to-essis t in fingering the in dividuel sheets. r
